[ADRP] What do you think is wrong Blood Elf RP

We don´t know what elven population was before Scourge attack. For all we know, there were 5 million of them and even if we take away high/void elves and losses Kael´s forces sufferred in Outland, there can still be over 300 000 or even 400 000 blood elves.
Without exact numbers, it´s impossible to determine situation in Quel´Thalas.

This is true of literally every race, though. Sad fact of people trying to be ‘edgy’ or copy GoT, rather than having a convincing, lore friendly character.
That is a hill I am prepared to die on. You do NOT need modern, RL slang and swearing.

Well…

Ok. Since you asked so nicely :smile:

Yeah, this is one of my grievances more regarding dwarf RP than any other race, with dwarf RPers using stunted (heh) swearing instead of being creative.

“ARGH YE ARS FECKER, MAGNI’S HAIRY GENITALS BE WITH ME THIS GLORYHOLE DAY” (underexaggerated) made me stop using the xfaction elixir. Cite me the random, once-in-a decade offensive word used by an NPC all you want, your braindead vocabulary has no basis apart from your stupidity.

It’s worth mentioning that the latest book goes into a culture shift with the blood elves. Oppulence, flamboyance and ostentious displays are largely frowned upon. Whether being a layabout factors into this is up to personal interpretation.

IT IS DEMANDED, SO MUST IT BE!!

I may have killed off Sabina.

But the thread I made with her won’t die.

Anyway this thread failed completely not only did you not convince me [the op] that anything was wrong with Belf RP but it also convinced me to kill off Sabina and create Raeline/Lalatha.

Why did you let poor Sabina die?

To continue on topic…

You.

I didn’t like her she was basically another character I wrote for one of my books in progress.

I feel Lalatha is more of a original creation for me. So yeah don’t worry in a way she’s still alive in one of my books.

Yeah, there is that, they don’t seem to be a Police State as in TBC, but neither are they giggling hedonists, I mean lets face it, think for a moment the ramifications of what happened to them, Its going to change you, and I believe the wording is that they are a more ‘grim and bitter’ people, than they were pre:Scourge.

I don’t know why, but I’m getting the kind of “Stiff upper lip” attitude from them. Everyone has their part to play, and everyone must play it. Certainly there is time for frivolity, but when the clarion of war blazes, you hop to it…

Is there something particular you are basing that on or is it just part of your wish of playing a RAF commander that you now also imagine the Blood Elves as a whole to be somehow equivalent to the british people during World War 2?

Look… I see what you’re Trying to say. In fact Brigante… I know what you’re about and how you view blood Elves. What Im saying Is… What im trying to say is, you Obviously liken the blood elves and RP (Role Play) them as a quasi:British archetype. Is that truly the case?.. Does the lore portray the Blood elves this way?

No.
Absolutely no. In fact… It’s clear from the source material and the Blood elven aesthetic that they are clearly Arabic in Culture. So please… let me Refer you to some source images provided directly by Blizzard artists. They’re a thing, okay?
